In this difficult week for our nation, especially for people living in Boston, I ask that we recall the prayer of St. Francis for Peace. In doing so we remember those who lost their livers in the senseless terrorism attack and those who are recovering in hospitals and at home. We also pray for victims of other tragedies especially for the people affected by the earthquake in China.
Prayer of St. Francis for Peace
“Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” Amen.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all the victims and their families affected by the senseless tragedy that took place in Boston, MA. We wish a speedy recovery to those who are in the hospitals. Our prayers and appreciation are with the first responders who helped to alleviate the suffering of innocent people.
Fr. Joseph and parishioners of Holy Cross Church
